From what I can tell the Hong Kong Jockey Club operates the two tracks in HK and it is a limited liability company authorized to run racing by the Chinese government. This sounds similar to NYRA -- a quasi-state agency currently under control of the state.
If you don't think NYRA is a monopoly then go try to open up a racetrack across the street from one the three NYRA tracks and run a meeting at the same time they are running. Never happen.
